New Flame Nova question

I thought I saw that the Nova spell was now going to be tied to Flame Shock, emanating from every mob that had a application on it, but still occuring from the casting of the spell.
I've seen and heard a couple places in passing that it is now going to simply proc an aoe burst? similar to just occasionally crit-ing?
Confirm/deny? sounds neat, but I'm terrified that i wont be able to have flameshock on a mob due to being near cc'd mobs...

It's going to be a spell, not a proc.
Elementals relay to much on flame shock for DPS (
Lava Burst
,
Lava Surge
), so I hardly think blizz will implement a mechanic that will make them skip it in CC situations.

It is indeed an actual (instant) cast - just like before.
The difference is, that the actual nova comes from the target(s) that has your application(s) of Flame Shock, rather than your currently active fire totem.
On the
screenshot
below, I fired it off with Flame Shock active on 3 targets. It illustrates the use pretty well.

It's going to be art when used in actual AoE-packs with a passive Earthquake underneath. I can't wait to try it out properly in a raid environment :)

I'll have to agree with this. And I absolutely MUST try it out with
Charred Glyph
, to see exactly how beautiful it can become.

Simple. 27 (18*1,5) seconds duration, and 5 second cooldown (6 - 1 from Reverberation) in between is 6 up at max. That's one heavy load of AoE damage indeed, providing you have at least 6 targets, of course :)

I was thinking more how good it would look with
s all over the place :D

What trash packs last long enough to get 6 flame shocks up on 6 different targets? ;P

You can always do it on your own, somewhere :D

You know, I hardly ever actually quote Family Guy... but it seems appropriate for this.
No words... should have sent... a poet.

Heroic Maloriak has 5 targets up for at least a full minute... not including the boss himself. :D

That's one of the encounters I'm specifically looking forward to. AoE'ing those adds is utter hell as shaman.

For some reason, the first thing I thought of was the Olympic rings. :D

Hey Gnub could you verify something for me. I could be wrong but I read it as Fire Nova would cause damage to every other enemy in range as opposed to having Flame Shock on each enemy and having the damage stack with Nova.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say you misunderstood...
When used, the
will emanate from every target currently afflicted with
and damage every target within 10 yards of that target
except
the target from whence it was produced.
I haven't played on the PTR so verification would be great.
Example: H Maloriak
5 Targets for 1+ minute.
Skull
: Skull explodes - damages: X, Triangle, Square, Diamond
and
Lava Burst
on Skull then the cooldown on
is up.
X
: Skull, X explode - Skull damages X, Triangle, Square, Diamond; X damages Skull, Triangle, Square, Diamond
and
Lava Burst
on Skull then the cooldown on
is up.
Triangle
: Skull, X, Triangle explode - Skull damages X, Triangle, Square, Diamond; X damages Skull, Triangle, Square, Diamond, Triangle damages Skull, X, Square, Diamond
etc.
With
Charred Glyph
, the rotation should be able to be played such that the 1st flame shock falls off the Skull slightly after hitting a 5-combo
.
The damage should be great. Meanwhile you're throwing in the
Earthquake
zones for the mobs to walk through every other
. Isn't it just fantastic?

Indeed, good description. A target can however still be damaged by
from other targets, even though the target has another
active.

So it's like a diff style of

right?

Exactly, but instead of it channeling one person, it is instant and can come from multiple targets. (Just imagined a priest channeling 3 mind sears at the same time... *shudders*)
